Savannah Kreutziger and fiance Jesse Lee are supposed to be married on the beach in front of 40 people in Tofino’s Cox Bay on Saturday, but that’s not likely to happen
Savannah Kreutziger and fiance Jesse Lee are supposed to be married on the beach in front of 40 people in Tofino’s Cox Bay on Saturday.But with the out-of-control Cameron Bluffs wildfire continuing to keep Highway 4 to Port Alberni, Ucluelet and Tofino closed, there’s a good chance the wedding won’t go ahead.
She is prepared for the wedding to be cancelled or perhaps moved to a new location, depending on what happens this week. “I’m still waiting to hear back from a couple of my vendors,” she said. He said he knows of at least one wedding that was held in Tofino by out-of-towners despite the challenges. He said he was told by the couple that the detour was “not for the faint of heart.”
After driving the detour route to his home in Port Alberni on Sunday, Brian Neal said he’s staying put unless there’s a medical emergency or a food shortage that would require him to drive to Duncan. Neal, who had been vacationing in Victoria with friends and needed to return home for work, said they made sure to stock up on groceries in Victoria before they left.
The Transportation Ministry says it’s assessing the danger posed by trees and other debris falling on or near the highway, with experts examining the condition of adjacent slopes.
